Angelo Bodetti Expert Hesitant picked Aug 7, 2022 (6 days before fight)
Dominick Cruz

Angelo picks Dominick Cruz but is on the fence. He notes Cruz's movement and striking defense make him hard to hit, and he can win by mixing in takedowns. However, Vera has devastating power and an iron chin, and Cruz may not be able to avoid damage for five rounds. Angelo compares to the Frankie Edgar fight where Edgar outstruck Vera and got takedowns but still got knocked out. He might change his pick.

"i think dominic can pull this off but make sure you watch our tuesday night breakdown because i'm so on the fence with this pic i might change it"

Big Brady Expert Confident picked Aug 9, 2022 (4 days before fight)
Marlon Vera

Big Brady picks Marlon Vera to win by late knockout, likely in the fourth round. He notes that Vera is a slow starter but becomes a savage in the championship rounds, as seen against Rob Font. Cruz is 37, with declining durability and speed, and was dropped in his last fight. Vera lands the harder shots and has knockdown power. Brady expects Vera to eventually land something big and finish Cruz.

fourth round knockout
"i like marlon vera here to win i'll say fourth round knockout for marlon vera to get it done"

Marlon Vera

Cody agrees with Paul, picking Marlon Vera. He emphasizes Vera's durability and tenacity in five-round fights, noting he often loses the first round but builds momentum. Cody believes Vera's leg kicks will stifle Cruz's movement and that judges favor damage over volume. He also suggests live betting Vera after he loses the first round.

Daniel Levi Expert Confident picked Aug 10, 2022 (3 days before fight)
Marlon Vera

Daniel Levi picks Marlon Vera, emphasizing that Vera is a slow starter but excels in championship rounds. He notes Vera's iron chin, finishing ability (most finishes in bantamweight history), and the importance of calf kicks to slow Cruz's movement. Levi believes Cruz will have early success but fade as the fight progresses, and Vera will either finish or win a clear decision. He also mentions that Vera's boxing has improved under Jason Parillo.

Parlayed Vera with Bruno Silva at +102 odds. Also mentioned that Vera's line was -205 when he bet it, now -240.

MMA Lock of the Night Expert Confident picked Aug 13, 2022 (fight day)
Dominick Cruz

The host is emphatic about Cruz, citing his wrestling advantage and high fight IQ. He notes that Cruz has landed 55 takedowns at a 43% clip since his WEC days, while Vera is not known for takedown defense.

Decision only Cruz at +150 (2 units); also mentions betting Cruz moneyline at +180 (2 units) and +200 (1 unit).

Paul Shaughnessy Expert Confident picked Aug 10, 2022 (3 days before fight)
Marlon Vera

He points out that Cruz has been knocked down in his last four fights and is getting older.

Big Brady Expert Lean picked Dec 8, 2021 (3 days before fight)
Dominick Cruz

Big Brady picks Dominick Cruz by decision, but with low confidence. He notes that Cruz has excellent striking defense (72%) and movement, and the bigger cage favors his footwork. Munoz is dangerous with leg kicks and submissions, but he absorbs a lot of strikes. Brady believes Cruz can stay on the outside and outpoint Munoz, but Munoz's power and grappling threat make this a close fight.

Daniel Levi Expert Confident picked Dec 9, 2021 (2 days before fight)
Dominick Cruz

Daniel Levi picks Dominick Cruz to win by decision, citing Munhoz's struggles against point fighters. He notes that Munhoz gets hit frequently (six times per minute) and has lost to fighters like John Dodson and Frankie Edgar who use movement. Levi believes Cruz's footwork and elusiveness will frustrate Munhoz, and the larger octagon at T-Mobile gives Cruz more room. He acknowledges Munhoz's power and calf kicks but thinks Cruz can neutralize them. Levi sees Cruz winning a clear decision.

Takeya Mizugaki vs. Aljamain Sterling

Round 1
Sterling moves quickly to clinch and press Mizugaki against the fence, but Mizugaki forces the “Funk Master” to rethink by turning the corner and nearly securing a rear waistlock. Sterling busts loose, comes back and shoots on Mizugaki’s legs, but again winds up with an underhook, pressing the Japanese fighter on the cage. Mizugaki keeps his balance through a single-leg takedown attempt, and the bantamweights trade knees underneath, Sterling landing to the legs and Mizugaki to the body. Referee Gasper Oliver breaks up the fighters with 2:00 on the clock. Mizugaki lands a counter uppercut on the leaning Sterling, then takes a leg kick and ducks under a left hook. Sterling tries another single and this time manages to run Mizugaki to the ground at the base of the fence. Mizugaki scrambles to stand, manages to get back to his feet but is immediately wrapped up and tripped back to the mat. Mizugaki stands again and is pushed against the cage by Sterling, who finishes the round with a glancing overhand right.

Chris Nelson scores the round 10-9 Sterling
Jeff Sherwood scores the round 10-9 Sterling

Round 2
Sterling gets another quick takedown but can’t keep Mizugaki on the mat, and the bantamweights wind up back on the fence in the clinch. Mizugaki throws a couple knees to the body before Sterling releases and backs out to the center. Mizugaki snuffs out a takedown attempt in the middle of the cage and clips Sterling with an overhand right to counter a body kick. Mizugaki is finding his mark with some solid right hands, but it’s all single shots from the WEC veteran. Sterling wraps him up for another takedown halfway through the round; Mizugaki is immediately back on his feet, then dragged back down to the floor, where Sterling jumps on his back. Sterling has one hook in, trying to secure the other, but he’s being blocked by the cage on Mizugaki’s right side. Sterling rips him away from the fence and secures the back-mount with a body triangle, then begins fishing for a rear-naked choke with about 90 seconds on the clock. Sterling spikes Mizugaki’s body with some BJ Penn-style heel strikes, but the shots mostly miss and they cause Sterling to lose the body triangle. He regains the triangle, but now Mizugaki is working two-on-one wrist control to defend the RNC until time runs out.

Jordan Breen scores the round 10-9 Sterling
Chris Nelson scores the round 10-9 Sterling
Jeff Sherwood scores the round 10-9 Sterling

Round 3
Mizugaki opens the final frame with a left hand to the body and a right upstairs, but the shots only graze as Sterling backpedals away. Sterling shoots a single, gets stuffed and winds up on his knees. He drives forward again and this time uses the single-leg to run Mizugaki up to the fence, then to the ground. Mizugaki gives up his back, and Sterling once again secures the position with a body triangle. Mizugaki twists around to wind up in Sterling’s guard, but Sterling slaps on an arm-triangle choke from underneath. It’s a low-percentage maneuver, but Sterling is in perfect position, squeezing on Mizugaki’s head and right arm until he taps out.
